NEW FSSG MEETS NYC CODE REQUIREMENT
A new release of Rolls Elevator Safety's Fail Safe Safety Guard (FSSG), FSSG SDC v5, supports the New York City (NYC) requirement to separate the car gate switch from door-lock circuits, where the arrangement of single daisy chains exist (NYC Building Code 3.10.12, Appendix K3). The new version of the door-lock-monitoring device also incorporates all previous FSSG features: adaptability to all controller types and automatic safety gear/rope-gripping activation for any unintended car movement.
EDMONTON TOWER WOULD BE WESTERN CANADA’S TALLEST
The City Council in Edmonton, Canada, has approved rezoning of property in The Quarters next to the Shaw Conference Centre downtown to make way for a massive mixed-use development that would include an 80-story tower, the tallest in Western Canada, SkyRise Cities reports. Alldritt Land Corp. is the developer and KENNEDY is the architect of the structure, which would house a hotel, condominiums, retail and restaurants. The design pays tribute to the city's history, with a central core and elevator lobby clad in historic bricks. Demolition of existing structures is expected to commence shortly.
